Microsoft CEO not bothered by Apple/Intel announcement

A report by Martin LaMonica on CNET News.com today notes that Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer had little reaction to Apple’s announcement today that it is moving to Intel chips. CNET says Balmer’s reaction to the move can be summed up in two words: “What’s Changed.” Balmer continued: “Will there be more device drivers because of this? No, Apple has their device model-we have ours. Will there be more hardware manufacturers that build Apple machines other than Apple? That’s a whole business model change. No reason to believe so. Frankly, if people wanted to do that, they could have been buying parts from IBM. What changed?”
